I pulled the wheel and saw the drum was
labeled Hadco 412.  I couldn't find that part anywhere.

 Seems to be really old... some discussion here in an Airstream Forum:
 "I recently went through a simular issue with what you are doing with
your brakes. There is an available solution to go brand new backing
plates; They are Hays / AL-KO 12"x2"
Part numbers 185100 and 185150
ETrailer.com sells them
RedNeck Trailer Supply sells them
They are specifically designed to work with the zero offset drums that
we have on our vintage travel trailers. You get brand new "guts" that
work great while allowing us to keep the vintage look of our original
drums."

 Maybe give you some more info, help with a decision🤷
 

That was a really good lead.  Looks like eTrailer might have had those parts, but not anymore.  They dominate search results, but it always goes to a different product.  It also looks like AL-KO no longer sells brakes.
